reflection

La correcta utilizacion de los diferentes tiempos del verbo es uno de los puntos que considero claves para escribir y comprender el idioma con más facilidad. Para que una oración sea correcta gramaticalmente hay que procurar tener en cuenta detalles q aunque parecen obvios se olvidan con facilidad. Por esa razon, escogi este par de ejercicios para practicar esta parte y aunque parecen sencillos son oraciones que permiten manejar la conjugaciond elos verbos en forma activa, pasiva y para los diferentes sujetos.
Considero asi, que la practica de las estructuras basicas permiten ir añadiendo complementos que más adelante formaran textos complejos.
